Option 1: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{6}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{8}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{5}$
Solution : Given: A, B, and C can separately complete a work in 12,15, and 20 days, respectively.

Question : $B_{1}$ is a point on the side AC of $\Delta ABC$ and $B_{1}B$ is joined. A line is drawn through A parallel to $B_{1}B$ meeting BC at $A_{1}$ and another line is drawn through C parallel to $B_{1}B$ meeting AB produced at $C_{1}$. Then:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}-\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}+\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{BB_{1}}-\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{2}{CC_1}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{AA_1}-\frac{1}{CC_1}=\frac{2}{BB_1}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}+\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$
Solution : In $\triangle AA_{1}C$ and $\triangle BB_{1}C$ $BB_1 \left | \right |AA_1$ $\frac{BB_1}{AA_1}=\frac{B_1C}{AC}$............(equation 1) In $\triangle ACC_{1}$ and $\triangle ABB_{1}$ $BB_1 \left | \right |CC_1$ ⇒ $\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=\frac{AB_1}{AC}$ ⇒ $\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=\frac{AC-B_1 C}{AC}$ ⇒ $\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=1-\frac{B_1 C}{AC}$ Putting the value from equation 1, we get: $\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=1-\frac{BB_1}{AA_1}$ ⇒ $BB_1[\frac{1}{CC_1}+\frac{1}{AA_1}]=1$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}+\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$
Question : Raj's income is Rs. 45,000 and his expenditure is Rs. 33,000. If his income is increased by 20% and expenditure by 12%, then what will be the percentage increase in savings?
Option 1: 48%
Option 2: 56%
Option 3: 36%
Option 4: 42%
Correct Answer: 42%
Solution : Given: Income = Rs. 45000 Expenditure = Rs. 33000 So, savings = (45000 – 33000) = Rs. 12000 After a 20% increase in income, the net income = $(45000+45000×\frac{20}{100})$ = $54000$ After a 12% increase in expenditure, the new expenditure = $(33000+33000×\frac{12}{100})$ = $36960$ Now,
